Citing Conference sessions, Poster abstracts, and Poster presentations
Conference sessions, poster abstracts, and poster presentations follow a significantly different format than other types of APA references.
- The author of the work is always listed first.
- Next, the FULL date of the conference is listed in the date area, so if a conference is held over several days, you need to list the date the conference starts, through the date the conference ends.
- Next add the title of the work and put it in italics, then add (in square brackets), whether it's a [Poster session], a [Poster abstract], or a [Conference session] and then add a period.
- In the source area share 1) the name of the conference or organization - or both (comma), 2) the name of the city or town the conference was held (comma), 3) the abbreviation of the state or the region (depending on the country) (comma), 4) the country the conference was held.
- Lastly share the URL of the WORK (not the conference in general) as a live hyperlink.

Poster Presentation :
NOTE: Because the poster presentations of this conference were presented in a journal, there are actually two ways you could cite this particular poster abstract, either way is acceptable in APA .

Option 2 - Referencing the poster abstract within the actual journal & supplement that printed the conference abstract :
Leckenby, S., & Acklaghi, H. (2018). Is point-of-care troponin enough in decision making process in emergency departments [Poster Presentation]. Emergency Medicine Australasia, 30 (S1), 43-44. https://doi.org/10.1111/1742-6723.12962
